Molecular barcoding on opposite transcript ends

Abstract

Disclosed herein include systems, methods, compositions, and kits for molecular barcoding on the 5′-end of a nucleic acid target. After barcoding a nucleic acid target using an oligonucleotide barcode comprising a target binding region and a molecular label to generate a barcoded nucleic acid molecule, an oligonucleotide comprising a complement of the target binding region can be added to generate a barcoded nucleic acid molecule comprising the target-binding region and the complement of the target-binding region. A stem loop is formed with intra-molecular hybridization of the barcoded nucleic acid molecule, which can be extended to generate an extended barcoded nucleic acid molecule comprising the molecular label and a complement of the molecular label.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes methods for attaching oligonucleotide barcodes to a nucleic acid target and determining the number of targets in a sample. The methods involve contacting copies of the nucleic acid target with a plurality of oligonucleotide barcodes, each containing a target-binding region that can hybridize to the nucleic acid target. The oligonucleotide barcodes are then extended to form a plurality of barcoded nucleic acid molecules, which can be amplified and used to determine the number of targets in the sample. The methods can be used in various applications, such as genomic research and disease diagnosis.
